A Little Bird Flying South 小鸟南飞

A little bird was flying south for the winter. It got so cold it froze up and fell to the ground in a large field. 

While it was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on it. 

As it lay there in the pile of cow dung, it began to realize how warm it was. The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy. 

A passing cat heard the little bird singing, and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out-and then ate him. 

The morals of the story are: 

1. Not everyone who drops shit on you is your enemy. 

2. Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend. 

3. When you're in deep shit, keep your mouth shut!

很多年前听来的一则有关小鸟南飞的故事,很欣赏这则已经找不到出处的作者的功力,能够用这么精简通俗的语言和故事结构,来传达生活哲理。

"一只小鸟正在飞往南方过冬的途中,天气太冷了,小鸟冻僵了,从天上掉下来,跌在一大片农田里。

它躺在田里就将冻死的时候,一只母牛刚好经过,而且拉了一坨屎在它身上。

冻僵的小鸟被埋在牛屎堆里,发掘牛粪真是很温暖了。牛粪让它慢慢缓过劲儿来了!它躺在牛屎堆里,又暖和又开心,就开始高兴地唱起歌来了。

一只路过的猫听到了小鸟的歌声,走过来查个究竟。顺著声音,猫发现了躲在牛粪中的小鸟,非常敏捷地将它刨了出来,并将它给吃了!"

这个故事的寓意是……

1) 不是每个在你身上拉屎的都是你的敌人。

2) 不是每个把你从屎堆中拉出来的都是你的朋友。

3) 当你满身都是屎的时候,闭上你的鸟嘴。

Crazy, Not Stupid 神经,可是不笨

One truck driver was doing his usual delivery to a mental hospital.

He discovered a flat tyre when he was about to leave the premises. He jacked up the truck and took the flat tyre down.

When he was about to fix the spare tyre, he accidentally dropped all the bolts into the drain.

As he can't fish the bolts out, he started to panic. 

One patient happened to walk by and he asked the driver what happened.Since there's nothing much he can do, the driver told the patient the whole incident.

The patient laughed at him and said: "You can't even fix such a simple problem? No wonder you are destined to be a truck driver." 

"Here's what you can do: take one bolt each from the other 3 tyres, and fix it onto this tyre. Then drive to the nearest workshop and replace the missing ones. It is as easy as that."

The driver was very impressed and asked: "You're so smart! Then why are you here at the mental hospital?"

The patient replied: "Hello, I stay here because I'm crazy, not stupid. OK?!"

苏格兰农夫:善有善报 Good Begets Good - Scottish Farmer

His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer. One day, while trying to make a living for his family, he heard a cry for help coming from a nearby bog. He dropped his tools and ran to the bog.

Sir Alexander Fleming
There, mired to his waist in black muck, was a terrified boy, screaming and struggling to free himself. Farmer Fleming saved the lad from what could have been a slow and terrifying death.

The next day, a fancy carriage pulled up to the Scotsman's sparse surroundings. An elegantly dressed nobleman stepped out and introduced himself as the father of the boy Farmer Fleming had saved.


'I want to repay you,' said the nobleman. 'You saved my son's life.'

'No, I can't accept payment for what I did,' the Scottish farmer replied waving off the offer. At that moment, the farmer's own son came to the door of the family hovel.

'Is that your son?' the nobleman asked.

'Yes,' the farmer replied proudly.

'I'll make you a deal. Let me provide him with the level of education my own son will enjoy If the lad is anything like his father, he'll no doubt grow to be a man we both will be proud of.' And that he did.

Sir Winston Churchill


Farmer Fleming's son attended the very best schools and in time, graduated from St. Mary's Hospital Medical School in London, and went on to become known throughout the world as the noted Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of Penicillin.

Years afterward, the same nobleman's son who was saved from the bog was stricken with pneumonia.

What saved his life this time? Penicillin.

The name of the nobleman? Lord Randolph Churchill .. His son's name?

Sir Winston Churchill.
